Tutorial 1: Recording audio
Stacked recording
Stacked recording is very similar to cycle recording but with
one difference – you can see the “Takes” that you record all
the time instead of them being hidden underneath.
1. Create a new “Mono” track.
2. Rename the track “Guitar 2”.
3. On the Transport panel, select the Cycle Record
Mode “Stacked”.
The Cycle Record Mode pop-up menu.
4. Activate the Record Enable and Monitor buttons on
the track “Guitar 2”.
5. Click the Record button on the Transport panel.
6. When you are done recording, click “Stop”.
You should see the recorded audio events appearing below each other
as separate takes.
7. Click the lower border of the “Guitar 2” track and drag
downwards to make it larger.
This allows you to see the audio takes much better.
8. Deactivate the Record Enable and Monitor buttons.
9. Open the Preferences dialog (Editing–Audio page)
and make sure that the option “Treat Muted Audio Events
like Deleted” is activated.
10. On the toolbar, select the Mute tool.
This will allow us to switch between our stacked recorded takes.
11. You will see three takes. The bottom two are muted
and the top one that is colored green (Take 1) is the one
that will currently play.
12. Mute “Take 1” and unmute “Take 2”.
This allows “Take 2” to be heard. Notice that “Take” 2 is now colored
green.
13. You can do the same for “Take 3”.
Continue to the following chapter, as we will show you
how to edit what we’ve recorded using some of the tools.
